Pulled Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, followed by the chicken broth, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then shred the chicken using two forks.

  4. 4

    Mix in BBQ Sauce

    Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and add the BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and heat through for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pulled chicken on buns, in tacos, or over rice as desired.
